AH-1W Build - Slow but Sure

Thanks for the comments gents.

 I haven't decided on a colour scheme yet, although I am tempted by the HML/A-167 cobra snake along the side of the AH-1W (I have the TwoBobs Whiskeys in the Mix decals).

I made the corrugated piping by wrapping bead wire around plastic rod which had been melted in to shape.  I then applied superglue over the wiring.  First time I've tried it and I think it has turned out to be a reasonable representation of the air hoses from the photos I am using.

 I'll post more as I go - but progress will be slow - three kids and a full-time job see to that!

Cheers

Geordie,

Howay the lads!! Excellent work mate. Looks like it will be every bit as good as your Huey. I love watching these builds on the forums as you pick up so much info and know how. How did you make the air con hoses appear corrugated?

Keep us updated.
